• finding that a secondary work, which juxtaposed the plaintiff’s work with an iconic World War II photograph, was not transformative because the plaintiff’s work remained “the clearly predominant feature of the [c]ombined [i]mage”
• analyzing whether the work is transformative from the standpoint of a “casual observer’
• finding a dispute as to whether defendant's posting of an image on a Facebook page associated with its business was for the commercial purpose of promoting the business or the expressive purpose of commenting on historical events
• \[I]t can be argued that no part of the [image combining two historical photographs that Defendants found online through a Google search] constitutes an original idea on the part of Defendants; some other person first thought to combine the two photographs[.]\
